A NOTE ON STRETCH STITCHING
Stretch stitching was developed to be used on stretch tabNcs and kmts. It can be used on other
fabrics as well It works well on curved seams and on any garments that wilt rece+ve a great deal
of strain (ieo child+'en's clothes),
The stretch stitch does not actually stretch at It +s being sewn, but It stitched in a forward and
back motion (sometimes called a "reverse-action" stitch), so that it wilt g+ve instead of break
when the |abFtc stretches.
